Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

A way to auto send from google photo to photoprism?
What I did was a very painful process of using Google Takeout and gphotos-sync ( https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync ), manually merging what I knew was missing, and using file counts by month/year to track other missing objects. gphotos-sync is limited by the same API issues as rclone, which is another perfectly fine utility to use, besides the API limitations. On a side note, I use rclone to backup everything to "storj" every night ( delta sync ).

Immich - Self-hosted photos and videos backup solution from your mobile phone (AKA Google Photos replacement you have been waiting for!) - March late update - now with CLIP-enabled search mechanism.
I haven't tried immich yet, but I am using https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync with great success. I wonder how hard it would be to set up a workflow to get the synced photos into immich.

Amazon Photos just ate 240,364 of my photos
I pull mine from Google Photos, with a docker image running a tool: https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync
Its not perfect, but as a backup, it works well.

Building an e-ink picture frame that displays an iCloud photo album
> They don't offer an appropriate API to get photos out.
There's this: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/photokit "The framework provides access to photos on the person’s device and in iCloud."
If you want to use undocumented APIs on non-Apple devices directly, there are projects like https://github.com/steilerDev/icloud-photos-sync and https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... that appear to be able to do this.

Self-hosted photo and video backup solution directly from your mobile phone
I use https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... running on my NAS to regularly download photos from my wife's iCloud account. The photos are stored in full resolution on iCloud with the EXIF data, unlike Google Photos, so that's nice. The only annoyance is that you need to reauthorize the tool every three months. But it sends you a reminder when the time is coming up.

The iPhone Setting Thieves Use to Lock You Out of Your Apple Account
To avoid future data lose, you can backup all your icloud photos locally. Checkout icloud_photos_downloader[1], they have a docker container that is drop-dead simple to use. I run this[3] about once a month, I could probably automate it, but that feel like it'll take more time than it'll save[2].

Amazon Photos just ate 240,364 of my photos
I have recently switched to a M1 Mac Mini, and just have each family member sign in to that using Remote Desktop. It brings the added bonus of working as a content cache for anything iCloud.
My only gripe is that it downloads the shared photo album (new in iOS 16) once for each account, and when your photo library is 1.8TB, that suddenly becomes a lot of wasted space. When it comes to backing it up the backup software deduplicates the data, but not for the initial storage.
I really wish Apple would implement some kind of method for backing up photos stored in the cloud without the need for mirroring them.
Before the M1 I was using iCloud photo downloader ( https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do... ) on a Raspberry Pi 4 which also worked well, but in the end I got tired of iCloud credentials expiring every ~90 days, requiring each family member to login again through a console.
Considering the M1 idles at roughly 20% more than a RPi4 (M1 at 4.5W) it was an easy sell. I just got the cheapest model and added a large USB drive. Using a Mac also gives you the possibility of using something like Backblaze Personal with unlimited backup storage, if that’s your thing :-)

Ask HN: What is your system for backing up family photos and video?
- a hyperbackup task backs up the (encrypted) photos to Backblaze B2.
That way i have my photos in apple's cloud, on my nas and in another cloud.
What do I use to download/sync the photos from iCloud to the NAS, you ask?? It's an awesome project called "iCloud Photos Downloader" - https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...
I have it running in a docker container on the nas and it periodically syncs and keeps itself up to date, no hassle. https://hub.docker.com/r/boredazfcuk/icloudpd

I store my files and why you should not rely on fancy tools for backup
icloud-photo-downloader: https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...
I've used this to great success! As far as I could tell, it grabbed every photo and video at the highest quality. Very happy.
